It sounds like this is very much a judgment call. Is that correct?
Otherwise, I would hope the guidelines would specify at what point a link constitutes spam. Once a month?
I don't think it matters.
I take this to mean that links to other forums are not permitted, period, as that constitutes advertising (I would strongly disagree with that interpretation, fwiw.)
Is that correct? Do all the mentors agree with this?
I've posted links to other science forums here, perhaps twice or perhaps three times (I'm not sure, but no more than that), over the last 6 weeks. To my mind this does not fit the definition of spam.
The second (or third) time was just today, and I provided the link on Biology (a board...
I'm not sure what this means. I would think that the spirit recently expressed by NASA and posted by Astronuc:
would generally apply in any truly scientific endeavor. I regularly post links to Physics Forums on other forums, and this information is then more broadly spread about. In fact...
Well, for one thing, a good mutation may be recessive or only partially dominant. So let's say someone has one - in their germline - and pass it on to their kids. If it's recessive, you wouldn't know that it's there. And we don't have sibs mating very often, or cousins, or second cousins... so...
Yes, it's possible. The best argument against it is that such new life would be at competitive disadvantage with established life.
It would be hard to detect "new" life - but something like free RNA whose sequence doesn't seem to match any microorganisms in the environment, might be an...
I think comparing a failed test to rape is like comparing bush to hitler.
I certainly don't envy you your job on PF, but you might consider locking the thread. I'm sure someone could calculate the odds of how many women on PF have been raped.
For that matter, the following are also words:

Good news.

This is basically (part of) the next installment in the ongoing investigation into Diebold (etc) electronic vote machines. It...
Sorry - meant the shia-sunni civil unrest towards each other, was not an issue. (I'd assume the uprising was directed at the government, and that it was "put down" as a matter of maintaining civil order, not as a manifestation of civil war.)
I'm repeating what iraqis are saying, in any...
Well, here's one.
A few posts up I posted the following excerpt from the memo:

Well, in the news 44 minutes ago is this release from the state department...
I am not too concerned about feedback one way or the other. I posted a second time because I had a new thought about the topic.
I think it is important to continue to bring these topics up, again and again and again. I plan to post updates about electronic vote fraud sometime in the next...
A liquid hydrocarbon would be non-polar. One of the reasons water is so good for life, is because it is polar.
Biochemical reactions, which routinely involve the (at least temporary) production of charged particles, are therefore much "happier" in an aqueous solution (where the water...
